Mets News and Notes: Francisco, Bay, Tejada, Davis

Frank Francisco was unavailable to pitch Saturday with stiffness in his left oblique. His status for Sunday's night game is undetermined.

Left fielder Jason Bay said his symptoms have cleared. He suffered a concussion on June 15 and has not been cleared to begin physical activity yet.

Bay suffered the concussion after his head made contact with the left-field wall on what became an inside-the-park home run by Cincinnati's Jay Bruce on June 15.

"The first few days I kind of felt a little groggy, a little headache and stuff," Bay said. "But over the last probably two, three days, I feel astronomically better. I did all my tests, all that stuff, and am waiting to hear back (from the doctors). ... Hopefully in the next couple of days I can start up activity again and go through that progression and within a couple of weeks be fine. But I actually feel really good."

Ike Davis was a late scratch with potential food poisoning.....

Sandy Alderson said that he expects Ruben Tejada to be back in a few days. The shortstop is trying to return from a right quad strain.
